thank you radogoal; I thought those were the gems I collected, but they were sockets to place them in.
completed with no other problems!

Uploaded a new version with a french translation. Thanks to Apiai.

Downloaded the 1.1 version and tweaked some things.

The pink background for all items were removed. Specifically parts of a certain bed and the fencing.

I also changed the LOOSER texture to LOSER. Optional, but since you changed some things to the correct spelling, figured I'd match it.

Some branch & leaf textures with the pink background removed.

If you want to look at or swap the above you can get them here.

Last thing to note, I rewrote several text documents and changed some textures to remove all "pop culture" references. I find them annoying and out of place for the Thief universe. I can say after playing through again, that they only take away from what would otherwise be a really good fan mission. I won't provide those changes since it does alter things from how you intended.

The Looser grafiti should stay like it is.

The branch & leaf textures aren't used anymore, I think. Seems, I forgot to delete them.

I don't get the pop culture references in the readings. Do you mean Dago's character ?
What about the tardis and the death star or my room ? :D

I'm aware, that this mission has elements, that not everybody will like. But it's not my goal to make a mission that everybody likes.

Yeah I couldn't remember seeing those leaf textures anywhere in the mission, but changed them anyway.

There's a vmaw folder in FAM that's empty too.

All references to politics were removed as well as the tardis & death star. I left your room alone because it felt appropriate for an easter egg and is clearly separated from the theme of the mission.

I don't expect or suggest you to remove those references from your mission, just stating I find it much more enjoyable and immersive without them.

Oh, a tiny tweak I made, renamed the difficulties from Realstic/Same/Same to All/The/Same. Saw it somewhere else in another FM.

At least you didn't remove the farting ....

Kerrle on 20/7/2020 at 00:08

Thanks, this was fun. If I might make a suggestion for the future, I don't think there's anything to be gained by making passages literally as small as possible - it just lead to awkward trouble traversing them and, at least in my case, questioning whether I was going the right way.

Now i get past the lava hole but i fell into another hole, at the bottom of the hole is another branch blocking the tunnel, from there i can see some kind of lift past that branch, but cannot reach it. How to get past that branch?

Stuck here, too. I did not see a hint regarding this post. Any suggestions on how to get beyond this point?

Cut the branch.
